Current SLP grad student here :) Many SLPs who work with people who stutter also stutter themselves. At my university, we have a professor who is a major researcher in stuttering, and he stutters. Def...

Many SLPs stutter! If you look at organizations like the American Institute of Stuttering, at least two of their clinicians are people who stutter. Also, if you're familiar with "StutterTalk" podcasts...

I agree. But I also believe that the subreddit should be a place to get help. In other words we should come together as a community to help these people rather than agreeing with them....

Yea, I've been thinking about doing it, didn't know if anyone would be interested or not. So sure, I could get it setup within the next few hours....

Why not do it yourself then send a message to the mods asking for it to be added to the sidebar? :D...

That's so disheartening to hear! I'll ask my speech therapist (who runs our chapter) if she knows anyone over there who might be interested. It's really not that hard to start a chapter from what I kn...

Thank you! I have thought about doing that and might once I move. I live in rural Arkansas and about to move to the central part of the state so it should be easier there. Thanks for a great idea! ED...

those are tough years noah. i have written a book i know willhelp you. the book is free no strings attached I just want to get it into your hands, it will help. I have stuttered all my life and know...

100 % agree. Its just completely ridicilous how many people out there who is only looking to make profits of our problem. There is almost no quality information, as there is with other "diseases". Sel...

Anyone interested in discussion (serious)

Anyone interested in discussion (serious) Anyone by chance interested in messaging and discussing what things you/me are doing to overcome stuttering/blocking etc. I am adding things to my arsenal (th...

Something positive! One of my favorite discussions about stuttering - Vivian Sisskin always has amazing things to say.

Hi CassCat, I think Board Cetification extends to Canada, but I'm not positive. It certainly is not a requirement to work with PWS, but rather extra proof that you are competent and specialized in yo...

Sorry, I should have chimed in here earlier. Yes, absolutely there is the possibility of a mutually beneficial arrangement there. I do have a friend from high school (who has a stutter) who turned dow...

Any success stories?

Any success stories? I am new to this sub and when I found it I was excited because I thought at the least there would be hints and tips being swapped about how to reduce stutters, at most, ways to be...

Oh it definitely would! It's a big problem to me that many SLPs only get exposed to stuttering when they are sitting in the office "treating" it. IMO it would be great to just hear people who stutter...

Stutter can be healed. My story. (AmA?)

Stutter can be healed. My story. (AmA?) Hey everyone! My name is Michael, i'm a 24 yo student from Poland. I've been stuttering since i was about 12. It never have been a big problem for me, i had a l...

"Slow down, take a breath, take a moment to think about what you want to say..." Literally every stutterer has been given this 'advice'. ...

I think there's a tendency (from ignorance, as it were) to tell people who stammer to just "slow down" or "breathe" or "concentrate" or "think first" or stuff like that......

Yeah, that's a common recommendation. I kinda feel like it applies more to nonstutterers than to stutterers though, since it's not a "tool" as such. It's just a trick that _might_ work - but as I'm su...

Sure, but im not a coach though, so i cant correct you or do things as good as they do...
